Elain, Feyre, Mor and Nesta are spending a girls day together with a big surprise for Elain at the end.
Today was the day that they all had prepared for the last few weeks. Feyre felt nervous because she didn't know which answer she would want to hear from Elain and she knew that Nesta and Mor in the backseat felt the very same way although they perfectly hid their worries as they all argued about where they should get dinner. Elain also suggested some places, not knowing that she either wouldn't join them or she would be sad.
It's not that they wanted Elain to be unhappy, the opposite. Elain knew her boyfriend not even a year and they just drove her to her proposal and she didn't have a single clue. Whatever decision she would make today, they would fully support her, it was her choice after all. Nesta and Feyre tried to talk to Vaughan, asking him if it wasn't too early for this but Vaughan was sure, he loved Elain and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. So Feyre, Nesta and Mor helped him picking out a ring and planning this day. They told Elain it was just a girls day, they got their nails done and then got ready to eat somewhere fancy, using this excuse to get Elain to wear her newest lavender gown, which complemented her sun-kissed skin. Elain looked like she stepped straight out of a fairytale. When Feyre turned into another street, away from their original route, Elain got quieter until Feyre turned into the street that led right to the beach.
"Where are you going?" Elain asked. "The restaurant here is full, you only get in with reservations."
"I know." Feyre replied "I just need to check something." when Feyre looked in the rearview mirror, Mor smiled at her and showed her a thumbs up, Nesta only watched Elain.
When Feyre came to a stop, she turned to the right and smiled at her sisters. "We're here!" she announced as she unbuckled the belt.
"What are you talking about?" Elain laughed nervously.
"Come on!" Mor said, jumping out of the car and opening Elain’s. More nervous laughter escaped Elain as Mor helped her out of the car and walked a few steps ahead with her. Evening wind was tearing at their hair and their clothes, Elain had to brush hair out of her face when she looked back at Feyre and Nesta. "Could you please tell me–" her gaze found something behind the girls, they turned to see what it was. Nesta found it first as she subtly pointed to it for Feyre. Vaughan's car. They looked at Elain again. The confusion was written on her face now. "Is Vaughan here?"
"Maybe you should look for yourself." Feyre said, shielding her eyes from the setting sun with her hand and pointed with a nod to the path that led to the beach. Unsure, Elain stepped forward and kept glancing back to her sisters and the distance that grew between them. She came to a sudden stop when she looked forward again and found her boyfriend waiting for her. Feyre craned her neck to take a quick look at him, so did Nesta and Mor. He was dressed finely in a white, open-collared shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbow. The setting sun made his tan skin glow golden and it looked like he cut his usual shoulder length hair which was now close cropped. Feyre couldn't see his face from the distance but she could imagine that the new hairstyle brought out his jawline more.
Elain looked back for a moment, teary eyed, before hurried down the path to the beach, following the rose-pedaled trail.
"Maybe we should have gotten someone to film this." Mor murmured. They slowly followed the trail to watch Elain flinging her arms around Vaughan.
"Don't worry, Rhys and Cassian are already at Varians beach house to record the proposal." Feyre said. Mor and Nesta looked surprised at Feyre, the former because she knew that Varian didn't like to let people into his beach house, the beach house that had the best view of the beach and the latter looked surprised at the mention of her husband's name. Feyre grinned at them and looked back, watching as Vaughan now held her sister's hand, saying something that made Elain laugh and sob. Feyre sneaked a glance at her sister, who looked serious, as usual.
"What?" Feyre asked nonetheless.
Nesta sighed and said "Should she really be with a man that is so obsessed with ostriches?" Feyre laughed and shook her head.
"I remember that you were obsessed with mermaids, what is the difference?" Feyre asked.
"They are mythical."
"Are they?"
She scoffed. "And I was twelve."
"Please," Feyre chuckled. "You think I don't know what kind of smut you're reading?"
Nesta blushed and crossed her arms, looking forward, dismissing Feyre. Mor on Nesta's right grinned at Feyre.
"Look." Nesta said, pointing forward to where Vaughan was now kneeling.
"What is he saying?" Mor asked, bending slightly forward as if it would help her hearing anything.
"He's telling her that he loves her and that he can't imagine a future without her and that he'd be the luckiest man alive to call Elain his wife and that he can't wait to travel the continent with her and then he asks her if she wants to be his wife." Nesta said nonchalantly.
"Can you lipread?" Feyre asked.
Nesta turned to her confused. "What? Wh– no!" She scoffed. "He showed me his speech this morning."
Feyre grumbled and turned back as she looked back at her other sister. Vaughan stopped speaking and was clearly waiting for an answer as he gazed up at Elain.
"Do you think Rhys gets what they are saying?" Mor asked.
"I don't think so, but they will have beautiful pictures." Feyre said "And if–" Feyre stopped as Elain furiously started nodding. Vaughan's shoulders slumped in relief as he slid the ring on Elain’s finger, then embraced her so fiercely that he picked her up from the ground. Feyre could hear Elain's laugh so far back to where they stood. Every worry ebbed from Feyre at that sound and when she looked at Nesta, her face also softened. Mor smiled brightly, jumping from one foot to another.
When Elain turned to them and raised her hand to show them her ring, they jumped into a sprint towards the beach to congratulate her
